This was a quiet neighborhood until I moved in. :)
Flying fifty minutes ago @ dusk in between spitty rainshowers from my backyard. Over the trees, over the rooftops, descending down above the pool into a sweeping turn away from my heli-hangar. :D

neighbours seem to find them great to watch the first couple of times then the old (he is flying that daam helicopter again) starts to be heard from peoples houses. I had a jet engine that i used to start in the garage and was for ever getting complaints, people would be standing over in the park trying to see where the plane was when there was none. just on a small tangent to your video don't ya hate it when you finally finish getting your heli finished to find it starts to rain or get dark.

LoL

I agree :D At first its interesting, then its a nuisance. Kind of like me building a huge sk8brd ramp in my backyard. ;)

Like I said, There goes the neighborhood.

And on a bright note *knocks on oak desk for good luck* My heli is always ready to go up in the air. I believe in preventative maintenance. That's my C-5. The heli and electronics are on the 14th gallon of fuel since last July and the Hyper50 is on gallon four after being sent to hobby services for a warranty issue that was taken care of and returned to me very quick{about two weeks}.

I'm always flying in the dark anyway, cuz my eyes are closed. :p

Yeah vapo, its been soaking wet here. Constant cloudiness. I want blue sunny skies. :cool:

Thanks ralph :cool:

It's been rather unseasonably warm. Between the upper 20's to high 50's. Today was about 45 degrees.

Not to mention your vehicle would need a serious lift kit to get through those puddles :D
